Been through cancer with Mom, Dad, Father in Law and Grandma the last 5 years. I could not even imagine having to deal with dementia.

I work in home health so watching patients with ALS decline is by far the worst thing I have ever seen medically. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minutemancl Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 My wife said FTD is awful. Your sense of time and space is all thrown off and you have no inhibitions, no filter. She's worked with people with FTD and they are just the absolute worst people to be around. And worst, it's not their fault! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Summerall-Madden Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 So sad as I had two maternal grandparents, that succumb to Alzheimer's Disease. So tragic and sad. God bless Bruce and his family. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biggie. Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 (edited) This is why I'm terrified of getting old. My dad is pushing 70 and he's borderline Alzheimer's. Edited February 19, 2023 by biggie. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's what got my grandpa at 75. I have an employee who is 67, retiring in 6 months. Over the last year we have noticed it starting and it's really sad to see. His dad had it as well.

And worst, it's not their fault! Yeah, my grandpa would say anything and everything that came to his mind, and could be so cruel it was almost funny at times. Once in awhile he would recognize us grandkids, but especially in the last year there wasn't much recognition. The worst part for me was when the real him would come out, sometimes he looked so afraid. It's heartbreaking 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowler1215 Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 My grandma passed away from Alzheimers a few years ago. It was rough when I was with her. She'd ask the same questions over and over again. I wish Bruce Willis and his family lots of luck during this very hard time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's why I'm trying to get out of sedentary desk tops, eating right and exercising 6 times per week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do this too. I also focus on being as stress free as possible. I work 3 jobs but I also get to pick my own schedule at all of them. So there are times where I work 2-3 weeks straight but then have 2 weeks off. It’s great. Harder to save for retirement, but still great. I’m working 8 total hours this week but I’m doing 60ish next week in a 4 day period. Have to find yourself a work/life balance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hornbybrown Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 My grandfather died of it. At the end he thought it was WW2 and kept talking about the Nazis and **** coming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
